Mom's of SW....

I am taking all the advice I can get in teaching my baby to self feed. Instead of letting me feed him or give him sips he's now grabbing everything from me when he's in his high chair. Relentlessly. This is part of the process and he's learning, I know and I'm letting him him have the bowls and spoons and cups and food to feed himself. But he isn't feeding himself lol he's making a mess. I'm just worried he's not getting enough solids now. Any advice welcome, you guys always have great tips : )

Lol ohh the messes. That's the biggest part I remember. I would put mine in the highchair and they both loved to like slap at their food. Would suck it off their fist. They actually got a lot that way. I would show them with my spoon with my spoon and then guide their hand with a spoon for them. and with with patience it eventually worked

@Bexsy yup that's what's he's doing. It's so cute. I have to put a special shirt on to pick him up after though. 🤣

Patience from me is going to be key here I thinks

@Notsimilarreally I miss how cute it was. Sitting here remembering the little giggles of delight at the messes.🥺
Lol, have patience for sure and cherish this time
